Interesting Pen Impressions of SCANDAL' COMING ~ TONEW MARTI Picture of Dealing Out the Law--Fine Drama Say are ¢ Critics Is it ever justifiable to condemn a serson on circumstantial evidence? This is a mooted question and has been for generations, That the United States govern- ment -has no law prohibiting the practice makes it impossible for a judge to refuse to pronounce Ssen- tence if a jury brings i a charge of "guilty," Because of this fact, one noted Chief Justice of an Eastern state, decliped to act in criminal cas- es. He said he could not in con- science be; responsible for the pun- ishment of any one condemned on circumstantial evidence. Since lawyers consider this one of the hardships of their profession, picture the person capable of with- holding the truth which would clear, one accused of murder! Listening to the evidence day by day, damnably plausible however it might be and still' maintaining silence! In the picture "Scandal," a Uni- versal Special which comes to the New Martin Theatré on Monday the situation above is used for one of the great dilemmas of a society girl, played by Laura La Plante. In speaking of«it Miss' La Plante has said that she had never realized until she read the script adapted from the Adela Rogers St. Johns' story, that any but a hardened criminal could be capable of such guilt. "But it is possible," she added. "and for the same reasons, No wom- an who has worked for her happi- ness as did Laura Hunt in the story will relinquish it without a struggle-- but the mental anguish--that is even harder to bear than disgrace," she concluded. Huntly Gordon plays the role op- posite Miss La Plante in this pic ture and John Boles, Jane Winton, Julia Swayne Gordon, Nancy Dover and Eddie Phillips are in the sup- porting cast, Film "Scandal" From == "The Haunted Lady" Universal's absorbing drama, "Scandal," starring Laura La Palnte, has been booked by the! New Martin Theatre to start Monday. Adapted for the screen from "The Haunted Lady," a magazine story by Adela Rogers St:«John's, "Scandal" is vaid to be one 'of the most unusual ilmed.sin many seasons. As a story v the Coming At- tractionson . . « it was wildly commented upon, and as a picture it has attained a popular success. The love of a former suitor for a happily married woman, at the pin- nacle of Santa Barbara's exclusive social circles, causes the plot situa- tion. The suitor makes a clandestine call-upon her, only to learn later that this visit is his only alibi when he is accused of a murder that occurred while he was there. To save the woman's reputation he does not tell his alibi. This places the decision upon her shoulders. What she does in this desperate pre- dicament is the crux of the story. Laura La Plante, in the starring role, is the woman. Huntly Gordon is her handsome, polo-piaying 'hus- band andgJohn Boles is the suitor. Miss La Plante's performance. is one of the finest of the season. Wesley Ruggles, the director, has made the picturq a brilliant and piercing drama of a woman's heart and of millionaire society. The cast includes Jane Winton, Nancy Dover, Julia Swayne Gordon and Eddie Phillips.

DEPUTY MINISTER WITH TREATY PLANF FACING OPERATION Aviators, Stranded Without Fuel, Picked Up by Air- ways Pilot Toronto, July 13.--After having been the objects of an intensive search by a fleet of provincial, dominion and private corporation airplanes, Walter C. Cain, deputy minister of lands, and Captain W. Roy Maxwell, director of the pro- vincial air service were safe in Sioux Lookout at a late hour last night. They were brought in by a Western Canada Airways plane, piloted by A. N. Westegaard, who found the treaty fliers stranded in the area between Port Hope and Sioux Lookout. Mr. Cain is be- lieved to be facing a surgical op- eration at Sioux Lookout hospital. Adventure is added to the most recent chapter of events in the epic flight to the North. According to the meagre despatches coming out of thearea, amplified by a telegram reweived by Mrs. Cain late yesterday. Mr. Cain was seized 'with a violent #iness prior to the take-off of the Moth plane in which he and Captain Maxwell were traveling. i The two men were "planning on: hopping from Fert Hope to Lans- downe Landing, where they were to join the rest of the party. This plan was known to the remainder of the treaty party who awaited the arrival of their comrades at Lansdowne. AS hours wore into days, however, and the two fliers failed to arrive fears 'for their safety were felt and assistance was asked to search the 120-mile area over which they were to have flown. F In the meantime Captain Max- well was rushing his stricken pas- senger from Fort Hope to Sioux Lookout instead' of Lansdowne Landing. Fate, however, had plan- ned that their trip was not to be completed and they were forced to land in the Cat Lake area on one of the numerous small lakes. Shert- age of gasoline was given by Cap- tain Maxwell late last night at Sioux Lookout as the cause of the descent. . Fortunately the area is one that is well traveled, planes being daily visitors and numerous prospectors traveling the area, As soon as the report was received from Fort Hope that the Moth plane had not arrived at Lansdowne, the other planes of the party took to the air. A Vickers Vedette set out from Orient bay. These were still fur- ther amplified by the addition, a few hours later, of a DeHaviland 61 from the government base at Sault Ste. Marie and two Moths from northern depots. The N.A.M. E. and Western * Canada Airways also offered their planes, one of the latter eventually finding the stranded flier and his sick passen- ger. Lured Away From Farms by Missionary Education An international association for agricultural missions was in con- ference lately at Hartford, Conn. in connection with the theological seminary there. A number of stu- dents of the seminary and pastors of rural churches throughout New England, in addition to a number of religious leaders from other parts of the country were in at- tendance. The desirability of ae- voting increased attention to the rural peoples of the world was ef- fectively emphasized. It was point- ed out that the rural population of the world numbers more than one billion people, and of this num- ber approximately three-fourtes are living in Asia. Approximately 90 per cent of the people in India and Korea, 85 per cent of those in China and 50 per cent in Japan live in rural condi- tions. The average family in Asia has only 23% acres upon which to support itself.

FIND BODY OF . WOMAN IN BAY Unidentified Remains Be lieved in' Water Two or Three Days Toronto, July 13.--Police are en- deavoring to identify the body of a woman found floating in Toron- to bay between the harbor air base and No. 9 dock. of the Canada Steamship lines shortly after 7 o'- clock last evening. The body was found a few 'minutes after the Buf- falo seaplane had taken the air. The body, &upposedly raised. to the surface by currents created by the plane, had been in the 'water two or three days, Chief Coroner Dr. M. M. Crawford estimated. An autopsy is being performed today by order of Coroner Dr. Burgess. The woman, about five feet tall, weighed about 115 pounds and ap- peared to be 38 or 40 years old, police said. She had very black hair, a brown coat, light stockings, tan shoes and was wearing a blue print dress and tight-fitting nac. She had artificial teeth, Strong currents around the dock may have shifted the body far from the place it entered the water, au- No marks or signs of violence were found on preliminary examination. LOCKOUT EXPECTED IN BRITISH COTTON Decide to Enforce Wage Reduction Manchester, Eng., July 13.--A big lockout in the cotton manufac- turing industry, possibly affecting a half million workers, was expect- ed last night to result from the ae- cision yesterday of the federation of master cotton spinners to en- force a reduction of 12.82 per cent in wages from July 29. The balloting of the federation was overwhelmingly in favor of re- duction. The weaving side of the industry had already decided without a bal- lot to apply the reduction. All the workers' unions have agreed tu ree ject the demands of the employers. There seemed little hope of reaching any compromise before July 29, unless the minister of la- bor intervenes. He may do this if the parties themselves are uuuole to arrive at a settlement, This is the first big labor diss pute since the Labor government came into office. The workers are firmly opposed to the idea of com- promise. They argue that the seri- ous condition in which the industry now is, is really due to its over- capitalization during the boom per- fod after the war. They think it behooves the employers to put their financial houses in order. The Cotton Spinners and Manu- facturers' association vesterday sent out notices of the reduction in wages amounting to two shillings and six pence in the pound sterling, or about 60 cents in $5. The cotton spinners maintain that the poor condition of the in- BISONS WIN LISTLESS GAME Buffalo, July 13.---Although tha Baltimore Orioles rapped four hom- ers and outhit the Bisons, they were unable to halt the rampaging locals, who went on to their eighth straight triumph here yesterday af- téernoon by a score of 8 to 7. it was a ragged, long-drawn-out game, with no Tess than 7 pitchers working.

They played two banjos, a piano and drums at their first dance at "Penn State" and dis- played such a pleasingly original style 'of dance music that' this first engagement led to calls for many others, a Such. was the humble. beginning of: the now famous "Waring's Penn- sylvanians," in the all-talker "Syn- copation," the RKO music comedy extravaganza coming to the Regent Theatre, for three days, beginning next Monday. For seven yars they have travcled across the country playing record- breaking engagements in the large motion pigture houses, In addition to these appearances they have play- ed in London, Berlin and Paris and when signed up to play for "Synco- pation" they were making New York a merrier place to live in by their headlined {featured act in "Hello Yourself," the George Choos musical comedy at the Casino Theatre, These. peppy jazzbos play nine selections ranging from the theme song, "I'll Always Be In Love With You," by Sammy Stept, to Victor Herbert's "Sweet Mystery of Life."

A really successfuul color scheme calls for great restraint. . Green, although Nature's most soothing color in the great out-of doors, is not suited for an intro duction into the home. In the cone fines of a small room green is far too powerful a tint to be used any way but sparingly. Used in conjunction with blue of violet pastel shades, it can be are tistic and cool. A green accent here and there is all that is re« quired to give the desired effect. Blue chintz curtains with a faint green / patterp running through them, blue cushions and covers of the same material, a blue vase with a single spray of fresh green leaves, in it, are ideas for a hare monious color combination. Employed too profusely, green touches tend to draw the eye from place to place, and are disturbing, the fewer there are the more effec- tive they will be. ians, will burst from the screen of [4 N | \ Lg i X JOT lalnment bY
